Color Me Rad 5k

Saturday morning was Color Me Rad - a 5k run where coloured cornstarch and water is .. splattered? on you. The point is to wear white at the start, and end up being completely covered in a rainbow of colours.

Me and M before the race. All nice and clean!

 I couldn't find a white shirt, so R very sweetly lent me one of his..

A fire extinguisher of orange stuff at the start line.

 Busy start line. People were stoked to be neon-coloured soon!

Feet & colour packs.

 At about 4.5 km, they give out a pack of colour to everyone.

Finish line! And the purple cloud just before..

Me.. at the end (with a creepy hand??)

 I was pretty clean looking, compared to some people.

Colour toss!

Every few minutes there's an annoucement, and people tossed up the colour.. Pretty cool looking.

Fall

The days are getting shorter, the mornings crisper, and the leaves redder. It's definitely fall in Vancouver, and while I'm sure it's not, it feels way earlier than it should.

I've started wearing tshirts or even long-sleeved shirts on my runs, and I almost want to wear a toque on my way to work (except that I feel dorky, since it's still September!). Maybe tomorrow..

I'm not really ready for it to be fall.. I don't enjoy getting up before the sun, or going to bed three hours after the sun has set again.

To look on the bright side, fall is a great time to take photos. We're having Thanksgiving dinner with friends this weekend, with family the weekend after that, and then I get to fly away to visit my best friend and her sister, who is basically my almost-sister. And then, the month will be half over. Crazy!

Leaves on the sidwalk

W 19th Ave on a run.

Tree on my walk from work

I really like having a camera that's always with me and takes good enough photos.

Happy (basically) October!
